Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)


Directions: There are three passages in this
part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of
them there are four choices marked A, B, C and
D, You should decide on the best choice and
blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer
Sheet.


Passage 1


Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following
passage:


Babies who are breast-fed may be more
likely to be successful in life, a new study
published Tuesday suggests. The study followed
more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil.
The researchers found those who were
breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence
tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and

earned more money than those who were given
formula
（配方奶粉）
.


“Breast
-feeding not only has short-term
benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term
benefits,
Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led
the study being published in The Lancet Global
Health.


(76) Doctors have long known that
breast-
feeding can be good for a baby’s health.

This is especially true in poor countries, where
water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby
given formula in developing countries is 14
times more likely to die in the first six months
than one who’s breast
-fed. In the U.S., some
research has suggested that breast-feeding may
raise a baby’s IQ
（智商）
by a few points. But a
recent study with siblings
（
兄弟姐妹）
found little
advantage to breast-feeding.


Hort
a says these previous studies didn’t
follow children into adulthood to see if

breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta
analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he
and his colleagues have been following since
birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the
researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those
who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had
IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than
those who were breast-fed for less than one
month, the team found.
When Horta and his colleagues looked at how
much education the subjects had gotten and how
much money they were making, they also found
a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed
the longest stayed in school for about an extra
year and had monthly salaries that were about a
third higher.

Passage 2


Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following
passage:



Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in
Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a
slave in a rich woman’s house. When Maggie
was very young, a thief killed her father. Her
family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother
started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had
to help her. She washed clothes every day, but
she continued to go to school. She was a very
good student, especially in math.
After Maggie graduated from high school, she
got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married
Armistead Walker. They had two sons and
Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also
volunteered to help a social organization called
the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped
African Americans take care of the sick and
bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of
the organization. The organization believed that
African Americans should take care of each
other.



Over the years, Maggie Walker had more
and more responsibilities with the organization.
In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a
program for young people. (77) This program
became very popular with schoolchildren. In
1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer
of the St. Luke organization. However, because
she was a woman, she received less than half the
salary of the man who had the job before her.


The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial
difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot
of unpaid bills and only $$31.61 in the bank. But
soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. (78)
Her idea was to get new members to join the
Organization. In just a few years, it grew from
3,400 members to 50,000 members. The
organization bought a $$100,000 office building
and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was
ready for her next big step.

Americans.

teachers.

St. Luke.

Grand Secretary Treasurer.

Passage 3


Questions 11 to 15 are based on the
following passage:
When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City
mayor last year, he promised to end a
controversial
（有争议的）
, citywide cell-phone
ban
（禁令）
in public schools, which is not equally
enforced in all schools. Now, under his
leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban.
It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones

inside schools but tells students to keep them
packed away during class.


Many schools have a rule about enforcing
the ban that says,
“If we don't see it
,
we don’t
know about it.” That means teachers are OK
with students bringing in cell phones, as long as
they stay out of sight and inside bags and
pockets.


But at the 88 city schools with metal
detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced.
The detectors were installed to keep weapon out
of schools
，
but the scanners
（扫描器）
can also
detect cell phones. So students at these schools
must leave their phones at home or pay someone
to store it for them.


The ban was put into place in 2007 under
mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will
also likely end an industry that has sprung up
near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban.
Workers in vans
（厢式货车）
that resemble food

tracks store teens’
cell phones and Other devices
for a dollar a day,


(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are
important safety devices for kids during an
emergency. They also say that enforcement of
the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where
the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on
students who can’t afford to pay to store
their
phones.


Before putting an official end to the
cell-phone ban, city education officials are
working on creating a new policy. (80) It will
include rules about not using the phones during
class or to cheat on tests.


11. Which of the following is the main idea
of the passage?


A. New York City will give financial aid to
poor students.


B. New York City plans to restrict cell
phone use in libraries.



C. New York City plans to install metal
detectors in all public schools.


D. New York City will soon end a ban on
cell phones in schools.


12. Students pay ______ a day to leave their
cell phones in a van parked near their school.


A. a dollars B. two dollars C. five dollars D.
ten dollars


13. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city
schools, mainly to keep _______ out of schools.


A. cell phones B. weapons C. alcohol D.
drugs


14. The word discriminatory in Paragraph
5 probably means________.


A. necessary B. tough C. strict D. unfair


15. According to the passage, which of the
following statements is TRUE?



A. After the cell-phone ban is ended,
students can use their phones during class.


B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in
all public schools.


C. The cell-phone ban was put into place in
2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio.
D. A phone-storage industry has appeared
outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.
